Comparison: Maxxis Premitra HP5 vs. Kumho Ecsta HS52 vs. Goodyear Efficient Grip Performance 2 vs. Michelin e.Primacy vs. Michelin Primacy 5 vs. GoodYear Efficientgrip Performance 2

In this comparison, we will consider two summer tyres, Maxxis Premitra HP5 and Kumho Ecsta HS52. These tyres from Maxxis and Kumho respectively are known for their distinct performance patterns across various driving conditions.


The Maxxis Premitra HP5 received a rating of 69% from our tests. As per the Autobild test, it ranked 16 out of 51, indicating good performance with particular strengths in aquaplaning - both cross and longitudinal. The text summary from the Autobild 2023 and 2024 praised its high mileage and short dry braking distances but noted its delayed steering response and moderate grip levels on wet and dry tracks. The 2022 report suggested very good safety reserves during aquaplaning and short wet brakes but also pointed at understeering during dry handling and limited mileage.


The Kumho Ecsta HS52, which succeeded the Kumho Ecsta HS51, received a rating of 78% from our tests, positioning it above its Maxxis counterpart. The tyre fared exceptionally well in the Autobild test, securing the 3rd position out of 51 and showing notable strengths in dry braking, dry handling, wet braking and price/value. The tyre offers convincing performance on wet and dry tracks, with short dry braking distances and a competitive price point, albeit with moderate deflection comfort, as per reports from Autobild 2024. Conversely, the Autobild 2022 report lauded its balanced performance potential, suggesting short wet and dry braking distances, comfort, and good value for money, but criticized its late steering response.


To conclude, the Kumho Ecsta HS52 emerged as a more balanced performer, excelling particularly in dry and wet braking, handling, and offering good comfort and price. However, the Maxxis Premitra HP5 provides commendable aquaplaning safety, decent mileage, and short dry braking distances, though it suffers in steering responsiveness and grip levels. We recommend the HS52 for buyers seeking a more comprehensive tyre for various driving conditions, albeit with some steering input delay, while the HP5 may suit users looking for aquaplaning safety and dry braking performances.
